New catalogue is coming

The new seasonal catalogue is nearly here with the release date 28 January.  There are so many great new products in this catalogue, it's a must see for all crafters.  I have used the new Petite Petals punch, the Gold washi tape and the Gold sequin trim.  The Grid stamp has been gold embossed then one of the Gorgeous Grunge stamps has been stamped using both gold and black.  After that a strip of each of the  3 new gold washi tapes have been attached to the base card before the wording from Itty Bitty Banners stamp set.  The new Petite Petals flowers have been punched out in Basic Black to highlight the gold sequin.

By the Tide

I have been wanting to use try this stamp set for a long time and now with Christmas sadly behind us for another year this is a great time to create.  On the base card the coral has been embossed in gold, the other images are stamped in Baked Brown Sugar.  The photo doesn't do justice to the two different effects.  The lobster is also embossed in black.  I like to emboss first when I colour an image, though this doesn't always happen.

  Ihave also covered the button with Washi tape to highlight the colour of the lobster.

Joy Banner

Using the Stampin' Up Simply Created Banner kit and Pool Party and Marina Mint ink the JOY Banner evolved.

Rosette Christmas Tree

Winter Frost Designer Series Paper was used for the cool colours. The Christmas Star was stamped in Coastal Cabanna ink and cut out to make a nice big star.

Just for fun I used a jar of mints for the base.

Envelope Punch Board

Christmas is nearly here and I like to decorate the gifts. Here is a collection of  my favourite boxes using the Stampin' Up! Envelope punch board. 

Beautifully Baroque

The tag has been rolled through the Big Shot using the Beautifully Baroque embossing folder. Stretchy ribbon has been added to the tag in Bermuda Bay.

MDS Grunge Photobook - Life is a Beach

MDS Photobooks really make digital scrapbooking easy.  I used one of the pages from the Grunge Photobook and uploaded my photos into the frames and added the wording, done.  The simplicity of the layout appeals to me in this case, especially as it is just one page of a photobook.

Chalk Talk Medley

Beautiful card for a beautiful lady turning 30! Using Modern Medley DSP and Chalk Talk stamp set.

Too Kind

                                                                       I have been lucky enough to have a lot of too kind people in my life lately which brings an abundance of bright happy moments - colourful flowers.

Chalk Talk stamp set was used with black to create the greeting Dictionary stamped firstly for the background and then repeatedly stamping of Too Kind.  The flowers are Strawberry Slush and Coastal Cabanna with the additional Summer Starfruit Flower Shop.  Got to love the stretchy ruffled ribbon trim.
